I waited a short while, took advantage of the silence that followed my words, and continued.
I told my first 'lie' that wasn't a lie.
"Sometime after they put me back in my prison room... Someone looking like a human suddenly appeared in my room. He looked at me, then he offered his hand, and asked if I wanted to escape."
At my words, all the dwarves at the table suddenly paused as if they had heard something impossible. They looked at each other sideways with questioning expressions.
Of course, they would, after all, what I had said was miraculous. Still, it didn't mean I was lying and they knew it. They had already surpassed the technological capacity to understand that. That's why they reacted the way they did.
"Do you know this person's name, who he is?"
I took a deep breath and shook my head.
"I don't know his name, as for who he is… I just know that he is a 'prisoner' like me."
